You know what?

You know what sucks? Seeing a 13 year old kid laying in bed with a chest tube sticking out of his side and an oxygen mask in one hand, and a pain med button in the other, just in case he needs it. I call BS on the universe for that.

You know what's awesome? Seeing a 13 year old kid wake up from a nap and be excited to see you. Then all he wants to talk about is video games. For a solid hour. Awesome.

Nick, I am constantly amazed at your ability to make me forget where I am when I am with you. You are friggin amazing.
